2012 SEAT Leon 1.6L Diesel · FP12 HMH

The SEAT Leon passed its most recent MOT on 7 April 2026 at 89,271 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable with no mechanical or structural faults flagged at any stage. The April 2026 pass followed a same-day failure logged at identical mileage with no defects cited, a pattern repeated on 15 April 2025 when the car failed at 80,633 miles and passed the next day at 80,647 miles, both with no faults recorded. These paired fail-pass entries suggest administrative or documentation issues at the testing centre rather than underlying vehicle condition problems. The recorded mileage shows consistent annual use. In the 16 April 2024 test the odometer read 74,650 miles. By 15 April 2025 it stood at 80,633 miles, an addition of roughly 5,983 miles over twelve months. The 7 April 2026 reading of 89,271 miles reflects about 8,638 miles in the following year. Against a 14-year lifespan and average of circa 6,376 miles per annum, the car has seen typical, light-to-moderate use with no sudden accumulation spikes or prolonged standing gaps evident in the data. The DVSA record is clean across all three years, with no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, exhaust emissions, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for hidden rust, and verify the brake and tyre condition, as consumable items are not captured by a defect-free test. The repeated no-defect failures on consecutive days in 2025 and 2026 warrant confirmation that the V5C and MOT certificate details match and that no suppressed test reasons exist in the DVSA backend.
